AMENEMHAT
AMENEMHAT. The name of several Egyptian princes of Dynasty 18.
One is known solely from an inscription on a coffin that had been
made for his reburial toward the end of Dynasty 20 or early Dynasty
21 and was rediscovered in 1918–1920 at Deir el-Bahri. He has been
wrongly described as a son of Amenhotep I, but his actual parentage
remains unknown. His very existence might be doubtful if the later
embalmers were mistaken in their identification of the body, which
was that of a one-year-old child. The eldest son of Thutmose III,
who died before his father but was alive in his year 24 (1456 BC),
was named Amenemhat but cannot be identified with this child as his
titles indicate an older individual. Another Prince Amenemhat may
have been a son of Thutmose IV.
